Scouting reportLewis has a very good chance at becoming the highest Draft pick to ever come out of JSerra Catholic High School. San Diego's Austin Hedges currently holds the honor, but he was selected in the second round and Lewis should be long gone by then. Lewis is incredibly athletic and uses that athleticism well both at the plate and in the field. There are some questions about his arm strength and whether he will be able to stick at shortstop or have to move to the outfield. Offensively, Lewis consistently barrels the ball and uses his plus speed to either take an extra base or just steal one.

Fun fact: Lewis comes from an athletic family. His father, William, played college football at Fullerton College and Chico State, while his mother, Cindy, played softball at San Jose State.

He said it: "It's (shortstop) a premium position. I can show my leadership skills, take control of the game. It's what I love about it. I want to play the position Derek Jeter played. Except I want to be Royce Lewis." - Orange County Register

They said it: "They don't make charts that can measure his makeup and competitiveness. … He knows people question whether he can play shortstop."-- JSerra coach Brett Kay - Orange County Register
